Concept of the work 
To tell a story that concerns me is anxious in my artistic work. There is often a question
about sustainable and global development.  Segmented Circle is an example of globali-
sation. My work concerns both global and local dimensions. Things happening global
becomes local and inserts in my local life and surroundings. When the tsunami catastrophe
in 2005 occurred I felt that I would like to give all the victims a lifebuoy. I would like to
protect and rescue all thus who have suffered or lost their relatives or friends.

This particular circle fits in to a dent in the forest where I usually walk.
I don’t know why this cavity is situated there, but I decided to use the dimension of it to my circle.
